The Signal Newspaper Article

Because I am already used to the routine of the past two years on staff, I am excited to use my Girl Scout leadership training and meticulous eye for detail to elevate our small paper. Admittedly, The Sentinel is not the most well-known publication on campus, and our staff is ready to expand our readership and better inform our students. While the macroscopic implications of the world of journalism are important to both democracy as a whole and to me personally, I also find joy in the small things, like tweaking the tracking of text on InDesign until it is perfectly aligned or discussing with my fellow editors the best way to eventually put our paper online. Though I confess I rarely read newspapers in print, it is extremely rewarding to put something tangible to an intangible concept, one of free speech and global

One of the biggest issues for the court system in Texas is the election of judges. It's clear that most of the public do not know the Texas court system well enough to know the positions they are voting for. Take a look at these articles and tell me what your thoughts are on the election of judges.

Clay Shirky who wrote Newspapers and Thinking the Unthinkable (1993) argues that society doesn’t need newspapers society needs journalism to save society. Shirky supports this argument by giving a historical background to the problems newspapers face and how the problems have developed over time and the solutions society has came up with. The blogger concludes that in order for journalism to go farther new models must be created in place of past molds. Shirky directs this blog toward the current and future generations in attempt to motivate new models and methods of journalism.

Despite their opinions, free speech was a great way in this situation for students to rally together and publically inform the rest of campus of their beliefs. In the school newspaper, The Daily Emerald, CJ Ciaramelle wrote “About 300 students from across the campus community — student unions, Greek Life, the ASUO, the Survival Center, the Women’s Center — showed up at the meeting to protest the Forum” (1). Although the majority of people protested against the forum the right to free speech, it is important because it allows students to make decisions on their own and invite students to do the same.

The black race has faced many hardships throughout American history. The harsh treatment is apparent through the brutal slavery era, the Civil Rights movement, or even now where sparks of racial separation emerge in urbanized areas of Baltimore, Chicago, and Detroit. Black Americans must do something to defend their right as an equal American. “I Am Not Your Negro” argues that the black race will not thrive unless society stands up against the conventional racism that still appears in modern America. “The Other Wes Moore” argues an inspiring message that proves success is a product of one’s choices instead of one’s environment or expectations.

Newspaper reporting is all about finding stories that will appeal to readers. Journalists try to uncover the real situations and problems that affect those readers and write the truth. What if writers were forbidden to write these articles? It may sound like something that could never happen in America, where citizens’ freedom of speech is protected, but the reality is that it is happening. In schools around the country, student newspapers are being censored and their stories yanked out or manipulated to reflect biased opinions. Uncensored journalism in school is necessary because it teaches the First Amendment, it allows kids to fight the wrongs in their world, and it keeps school faculty from having to fight for students’ articles.

I think that the article “The Condition of Black Life Is One of Mourning” is one of the best articles I have ever read. It is a very thought out article that makes a lot of great points that I agree with, and some that I can relate to. Growing up in such a small town without much diversity, I was never really introduced to racism. I know it is out there, but in my town everyone accepts everyone for who they are. I have heard of most of the things that Rankine talks about such as the shooting in Charleston, the shooting in Ferguson of Michael Brown and the death of Emmett Till, but I never put a lot of deep thought into the situations. This article did a great job of opening up my mind and making me realize that not every place in America is

In an article in the Chicago Tribune it talks about how Stephanie Kifowit, an Illinois State Representative, wants to crack down on gang recruitment by supporting legislation that specifically targets those who try to recruit students. The Chicago Tribune (2015) explains, “Kifowit 's House Bill 247 would extend the areas where individuals can be charged with street gang recruitment beyond school grounds to include areas within 1,000 feet of school buses, school bus stops, and public parks”. The emphasis is on prevention and how important it is to stop recruitment of students who are vulnerable to joining gangs.

United States has the largest number of African-American who has been suffering a long time of racial discrimination and live at the bottom of society. Those four writers, both are political leaders of the African-American civil rights movement. Although they have a different background and express different thought, they do same things.

“If you teach the Negro that he has accomplished as much good as any other race he will aspire to equality and justice without regard to race. Such an effort would upset the program of the oppressor in Africa and America. Play up before the Negro, then, his crimes and shortcomings. Let him learn to admire the Hebrew, the Greek, the Latin and the Teuton. Lead the Negro to detest the man of African blood--to hate

The Southern Digest newspaper made its debut in an extremely critical period in December 1995. The sole purpose of this publication was to “dwell on the preservation of the American way of life, i.e., the principle of segregation of races and the protection of our constitution” (Southern Digest, 1955). Stories and sections were dedicated to providing opinions and information regarding opposition to both federally mandated public school desegregation as declared by the Supreme Court decision and the emerging Civil Rights Movement in the southern states. During the issued volume, much of the content illustrated the recent orders of the Supreme Court for desegregation from earlier in the year as unethical and unlawful in the eyes of the constitution

According to http://homepage.smc.edu/ a great college newspaper must poses qualities such as, integrity, accuracy, responsibility, and leadership. These qualities were discussed every day for the production of the Santa Monica College’s weekly newspaper, titled, The Corsair. The Corsair writing staff defines integrity by, “Maintaining vigorous standards and fair play in the handling of stories.” It is crucial to understand what qualities a newspaper should have, and how they are defined. Upon examining the Navigator News’s October newspaper, there were four criteria that needed to be met. Lake Land College’s newspaper titled, Navigator News, encompuses readability,

Recently, the student run newspaper published their daily edition with many hasty stories about students, staff, and faculty. The April Fools edition was meant to be a comedic spoof on campus activities, however, this year it was not so. The students wrote about the Renaissance club who attacked a group of Chinese students, a soccer coach who was arrested for domestic violence and a faculty member who was a militant member of a secret society. None of the stories are true. Many of the key actors are showing their power through disgruntled messages. It seems as though the newspaper has lost its values over the years and may need to be connected with the student government. There are many ways to resolve the issue including
